| - I will start by saying that I am a BIG Upward Projects fan, so I might be a little biased. Windsor and Postino are two of my favorite restaurants, so I was extremely excited to try their new venture - Federal Pizza.
Our waiter was fantastic, recommending selections from each section of the menu. Because it was a work lunch, we didn't sample one of their wine coolers that consist of a house made infusion and sparkling wine, but I WILL be back for happy hour one day to try them out.
The atmosphere is really great - the windows fill the whole place with light and mid-century modern decor is abound. One of the small details I loved is that each table has a different style of salt & pepper shakers, so it was fun to look around and see the fun varieties. Being an Upward Project, the restaurant features cozy & comfy seating as well as a fantastic bar set-up and patio.
For starters we got the corn coins (marinated/cheese covered corn cobs sliced into coins) and they were delicious. Sweet & salty. We also got the baratta and bread and it was also tasty. If I had to chose one, I would get the corn coins since they are not something you see on other menus in town.
We decided to skip salad this trip and split two pizzas - the Casanova (featuring dates, prosciutto and arugula) and the Manifesto (featuring Shriner's sausage, mushrooms, onions and cheese). Both were incredible, and how could they not be on the doughy yet crunchy Michael Coe crust. It's my favorite crust in town now, so look out Parlor!
I already am excited about my next trip there. If you love Windsor and Postino, run, don't walk, to Federal Pizza. You won't be sorry!
